"the electronic experiment kicked off in 2004 when tunisian sound cutter SC MoCha teamed up with Bethlehem based palestinian sound catcher SC Yosh to
form Checkpoint 303. the idea was to cut, track, fragment and reconstruct the audio soundscape from daily lives in the middle east. new audio
reporting on injustice. Paris-based SC MoCha reworks the field recordings made by SC Yosh in the occupied territories into rhythmical transcriptions
that range from raw acoustic aggression to synthetic soothing tunes with everything in between."........
He adds oud lines as well

oui zalzal :
les concerts seront entre le 13 et le 15 mars.
on est invités pour jouer mais il s'agit de la première édition d'un festival du cinéma tunisien, pour les lieux je n'ai pas encore d'idées
précises.. je te tiendrais au courant si tu veux, pour le festival "musiciens pour la palestine"
ça va se tenir le 7 fevrier à angers et j'y serai aussi (ça va être sympa j pense),
comment je peux te joindre ?
à bientôt

zalzal - 1-26-2008 at 03:44 PM
Merci Zou.
Je peux pas venir le 7 à Angers, dommage, chaque année j'aimerais bcp venir au festival "musiciens pour la palestine" avec Al Kamandjati. Le top
serait que ce festival devienne itinérant, ou "polycentrique".
Stp pourras tu poster d'autres infos sur ce festival au forum??
Pareil pour Checkpoint303 à Paris, si tu peux poster des infos sur leur concert et le festival de cinema tunisien à Paris....
Je ne trouve rien sur internet pour l'instant.
Et puis, si jamais mon boulot à Paris se confirme, je t'enverrai un u2u, pour qu'on essaie de se joindre la bas.
zou - 1-27-2008 at 04:58 AM
av plaisir,
si j'enrégistre la soirée je t'enverrai une copie

Dommage, je ne serai à Paris que le 26 ou 27 mars jusqu'au 30-31/mars. Au plaisir de se revoir peut être à Paris fin mars.
J'espère que les soirées checkpoint et festival de cinema tunisien se passent bien.
Checkpoint 303 performing in Washington DC this Friday

Checkpoint 303 (Palestine/France/Tunisia) will perform an electronic/dj set this friday in Washington DC this Friday November 21st, 2008!
It's an electronic/dj set, so probably not much live Oud playing (not sure), but worth checking out if you're in the area, if you like the
eletronic+oud fusion and would like to support the message for justice and peace in Palestine.
Checkpoint 303 compositions are a mixture of middle-eastern breakbeats, improvised acoustics and experimental field recordings.
Checkpoint 303 has opened for some Massive Attack concerts in the UK and France in 2007 and 2008 and has performed in many countries including
Australia, Japan, Canada, Palestine, Tunisia, France, Sweden, etc.
